    5100's front and rear, front 2.5" rear 2" AAL, 18% tint front and rear, color matched grill. SCS wheels 275/70/17 BFG AT KO's. DTRL toggle switch.
    I ordered 5100's front and rear from Wheelers last week with the 2" AAL. Started working on it in my garage last night and finished this afternoon. It was not a fun job in this hot Texas heat but the end result was worth it. I set the 5100 on the top giving 2.5" of lift.

    Something to note is that I have the drive line shutter under medium to hard acceleration from a stop and it is now gone> :D

    I measured this evening and it already was dark so I will double check my numbers tomorrow.

    Before
    LF 20.5 RF 20.5

    LR 21 3/4 RR 21 9/16

    After
    LF 22 7/8 RF 23

    LR 23 5/8 23 5/8

    I was worried that the lift was going to make the truck drive poorly but actually it drives really well. It also doesn't look as bad as I thought it would with stock wheels and tires. I still need to get an alignment, overall I am var happy with how it turned out.
